l2tp fires off pppd when it's ready. you might want to check bin paths and permissions etc. otherwise turn on debugging for some more info as to why.
hi, how do I do that ? Is that a configuration (l2tpd.conf) option ?
You can either put: ppp debug = yes in your l2tpd.conf file, or put: debug in the options file you use for pppd.
The only debug options for l2tpd itself are at compile-time.
I don't think you'll need to do this yet though, since the IPSec tunnel needs to be established first
Phase 1 is coming up succesfully, but phase 2 isn't.I'm using SuperFreeS/WAN 1.99.8 - everything should be supported by kernel and freeswan ... I've some debugs on my site : http://lr101.linux-it-solutions.de/download/l2tp (config file - isakmp.log of win98 client and sfs-1.99.8-log)
Not sure exactly what's wrong there, have you tried uncommenting the lines in the ipsec conf file:
leftprotoport = 17/1701
rightprotoport = 17/1701
good luck.
